Upon entering, we were immediately swallowed up by the darkness of the cave.
Without wasting any time, Aika and I simultaneously dipped our hands into the inventory. I pulled out an oil lamp, and she pulled out a matchstick, quickly helping me light the wick.
The space slowly illuminated, and I could see the shivering faces of Dion and Celeste. I quickly moved the lamp to have a look at the cave. Since we were at the entrance, the space around us was narrow, but we could see that it grew wider further in the dark cavern.
I began to pray that we were the only creatures in it.
Aika immediately took her katana out of her shadow, while Dion pointed his spear forward as we began moving deeper into the cave.
Then suddenly, I froze as I stepped on something crunchy that felt like bone. Lowering my lamp, that was when I could see a human skeleton leaning against the wall with a sword protruding out its chest and pinning it to the rock.
